To still let my DC stay at grandparents tonight?

DC is due to stay at grandparents tonight. Both only in their early 50s and have no symptoms or issues.

Mum will pick her up from my house, she will go into the car, out at the other end and stay in the house, until mum puts her back in the car tomorrow and she gets out here. No contact with anyone but grandparents.

I’m 50/50 on whether to go ahead with it though. WWYD?

(She hasn’t been sleeping well at all recently and DH and I need to sleep, we’re really beginning to struggle and the night off is tempting, but then I feel very selfish.)

Oh and just to add, I'm more inclined to agree that it's fine, en you have limited contacts prior to now. Of course that only works if your parents have down the same.

I think some are coming across as a little bit aggressive towards the OP... I do know this is an emotive topic but we're all just trying to work out what we can/can't do for the best with the advice we've got and that includes the OP.

OP, given what you've said (that your DC is 9 months old and you've been self isolating for 7 days not in nursery etc and not because of illness but just to social distance), then I actually think it would more than likely be fine.

It depends on what your parents' situation is of course but if they have also been self-isolating for 7 days and are healthy and well, the risk should be pretty low.

There IS still some risk of course but - it just depends on whether you are happy/willing to take it.

Current advice for everyone re social distancing is not to have anyone visit your home including family

If they've happy to have her, I honestly see nothing wrong with it
